US Mass Shooting: One Killed, Several Injured Outside Night Club In Kentucky

Kentucky: Another mass shooting incident has surfaced in the United States, where one person was killed and seven others sustained injuries outside a nightclub in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday (local time), CNN reported, citing police. First responders who arrived at the scene found two injured people, according to a statement by the Louisville Metro Police Department. Later, one of the victims, a man, was pronounced dead.
The police said the second person was taken to hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries. Later, medical staff reported that another six victims, all adults, reached area hospitals for treatment after the shooting.

According to Aaron Ellis, a public information officer with the police department, all six people were shot. The police said, “Those injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.”

The police did not mention any information about the suspect and it’s unclear how many people opened fire or what caused the shooting.
Police said, “The relationship of the victims, if any, is not known at this time,” adding that the shooting remains under investigation.
In a separate incident, three people were killed and ten others were injured in a shooting incident at a grocery store in Fordyce, Arkansas on Friday (local time), authorities said in a news conference, CNN reported.

The Arkansas State Police reported that the incident occurred at the Mad Butcher grocery store around 11:30 am local time, CNN reported.
Mike Hagar, Secretary of Public Safety and Director of Arkansas State Police, said that law enforcement swiftly responded to the scene and engaged in a confrontation with the “lone suspect” exchanging gunfire. Both officers and the suspect sustained injuries, but none are believed to be life-threatening.

In recent weeks, the U.S is experiencing a surge in shooting incidents. Just from last Friday alone, over 21 such instances were reported, as tracked by the Gun Violence Archive. Their definition of a “mass shooting” is a single episode where a minimum of four people, excluding the shooter, are struck by bullets. This has been widely reported by CNN.
